Glad to see the Nuggets finish it off tonight. Well done in a tough game.

I was a bit surprised by that 3 point call Jimmy got , but it was a good game (butler did not look the same)

You notice Jokic was more happy to carry his kid around than the finals MVP trophy

He didn't want any of the spotlight, that's refreshing to see

For you Nathan: some of your posts as evident by the last one in The Next Sale Thread ought to be in Sage Green or perhaps in Burgundy!

  • Droll insinuation will be sage green
  • Mild sarcasm will be burgundy
  • Smarminess will be ultramarine
  • Irony will be lavender
  • Flippancy will be sunflower orange
  • Biting sarcasm will be pillar box red
  • Humour liable to cause offense will be in an insipid yellow which you can only read when you highlight it
* apologies if my colors are a bit off, as I am not known for color blindness but I was limited using the colors provided in this site!
 
Don't know if anyone is watching that True Lies series, but was watching ep11 today and almost freaked out cuz I thought the main guy pulled out a DEK1! Paused it as best I could and the blade was almost identical, but the handle looked to be different (was a dark scene so was hard to tell).

Cruwear will not have better corrosion resistance than Delta 3V

Delta 3V is not like regular 3v. There is much more free chrome. Enough that it is practically stainless. I have a blade that I threw in a stump a long time ago and it doesn't have a speck of rust on it.

Our Cruwear will have less free Chrome because it has higher carbon that's going to compete for some of that Chrome.

The higher carbon also makes it more susceptible to retained austinite which limits how much carbon I can put into solution which ties my hands with aust temp much more so than 3V (if using a low temp tweak). Those knives in the picture above, they all rockwelled about the same. The one on top has RA. The one on the bottom is an industry standard control exhibiting the typical crumbly mushy edge of the high temp. The one in the middle is nicely optimized. This optimization is not just time and temp, there are other important variables.

Although Delta 3V is quite tough, I have not been able to coax good edge stability out of it at higher hardnesses. Cruwear should give me another point or two anyway and actually be tougher than 3V would be at that hardness.

We race 4V at 64 regularly. It has low corrosion resistance though. But it has very superior edge stability for a complex steel.

We're in pursuit of better edge retention in a durable knife. That has always been the focus. And we understand that edge retention is not the same thing as wear resistance. At least not how it is measured in industry, which has little to do with a normal cutting tool. Edge stability is key and a strong uniform microstructure wins the day over secondary carbide volume fraction. Obviously.

Do you personally still prefer the Delta 3V?
